As stated, disappointed overall. Perhaps we were unlucky due to dry dock refurbishment looming.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Quick, easy, efficient.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Very disappointed with evening meal, quite repetitive and not 5* quality. Horizon buffet for breakfast good and hygiene impeccable. Crab Shack very nice but obviously another $29 each to pay.
International Dining Room
3 out of 5
Ridiculously difficult to find; even a member of staff whom we asked commented about this particular dining room. We had a table right next to the entrance and where serving staff were constantly walking past, opening drawers etc.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Seemed lots going on. Movie under the Stars got a bit much each and every day. One day literally 5 hours of Cirque de Soleil. Very loud.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Apart from the Liners singer and dances, pretty poor majority of the time. Past cruises we have been on acts have been Broadway etc. NOT this one. One evening more like a children’s party entertainer with poor juggling and poor boring slapstick’s jokes,
Children's Programs
No children with us.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Some excellent, some just okay. Some looked absolutely fed up to be honest.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Clean enough but Liner dark, dingy, shabby. Stateroom satisfactory but again, bedding in need of replacement, carpet needed either replacing or cleaning. Shower very small with plastic curtain. No toiletries. Had to request bathrobe. No tea coffee, kettle in stateroom. Fridge was hot, hot, hot!!
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
As stated above stateroom in need of refurb with cold working fridge, not threadbare bedding, cleaner carpet. Proper screen in shower as opposed to cheap plastic curtain! Air conditioning could NOT be switched off, loud throughout night, interrupted slept.
Ship tip
To be honest, think twice. First time for us on Princess Cruiseline and not impressed afraid to say on this particular Liner. Perhaps because going into dry dock we were unlucky, who knows. Lots of fellow passengers of same opinion.
Our flight was 20.15. We were asked to disembark at 09.15! Surely one room could have been set aside for fellow passengers like us. This has happened on other Liners.
